Hell is the cosmos's ultimate prison. Literally ultimate; any given vile criminal starts out as a vile criminal in any of a zillion other prisons, then they go to Hell.... @PoptartProdigy , would it be possible for us to hand Dazarel over to King Yenma to chuck into hell? I'm not sure I specifically want to, but I'd like to know the options here.
And now he's chibi Dazarel with 1/20th of the power of his traditional chibi state.
I'm not sure what would change for him, though l, considering where he would be heading back to. Now, that's honestly an argument that we might not want to chuck him down to hell even if we could, but...Hell is the cosmos's ultimate prison.
Chibi Dazarel would not last long in prison. He'd die. I'm pretty sure we can't do that.
Although not for the reason you assumed...I think.I knew this wouldn't work.
Old friends is probably the best option.
Alternatively, is there a meeting room where we can talk to people in the afterlife at?I'm not up for a Hellrun. Not as a shade, and probably not even if we were at full strength.
I'm glad we came here though!
...No, wait! We're only being turned away because we're intending to stay! @PoptartProdigy if we promise to leave within a week, can we just visit to prepare for our journey across the galaxy and ask for advice?
You know, it's quite possible the answer will be "because you're not good enough at telepathy." Generally whenever there was a telepathy conversation involving the afterlife, King Kai was the one initiating it, and King Kai is a pretty good candidate for what Legendary Telepathy looks like in Poptart's setting- effectively unlimited ability to contact anyone, anywhere in the cosmos, without any risk of people right next to the target having an inkling that anything was said.i wonder who/what we'd meet in hell.
First guess: Cell and Oni Goku.
@PoptartProdigy
Can we ask Yemma why we can't talk to those in heaven through telepathy? Is that dangerous too?
@PoptartProdigy what if it was just for an hour? or ten minutes?...No, wait! We're only being turned away because we're intending to stay! @PoptartProdigy if we promise to leave within a week, can we just visit to prepare for our journey across the galaxy and ask for advice?
I did, to a point. I'm sure that a few centuries of nothing but loneliness and (occasional) attacks from outside could lead even Canon!Popo to become sorta deranged. But yeah, Abridged!Popo was my definite interpretation.
As an aside, do you remember the post you made discussing how Abridged stuff got mingled with Canon for the quest? IIRC, it was one of the first generation of Garenhuld!Saiyans, who wrote an alternative Holy Text, but I can't find the post you made on that topic right now.
A sorceress' head is certainly dangerous... to people that don't have a power level supplemented by god ki.
... I had a thing typed up about how, due to power differences in DB, hell would need multiple weight class areas, but there's a more relevant point:It would be cruel beyond measure to send Chibi Dazarel to Hell.
Hm? None of the options before were "Go to Hell."Welp!
Didn't see the immigration ban coming.
On the other hand, Poptart's warning makes me feel somewhat vindicated about taking a strong stance against "go to Hell." The problem, and I should have thought clearly enough to express it thusly earlier, isn't so much about any ONE inmate of Hell (e.g. Frieza). The problem is that Hell contains ALL the rough characters, every single one of them, and sooner or later at least one of them would gank us or put us in a position we'd rather not occupy.
"Those above" took us to heaven, so presumably "those below"...
not even he is actually that good. Goku during his battle with Frieza somehow intercepted his conversation with Kami.You know, it's quite possible the answer will be "because you're not good enough at telepathy."

We assumed "Those Below" meant Hell.
This line really hit me. A lot of people I've seen in thread have referred to this new arc as variations on 'Kakara's adventures in space', and I know I thought of it like that as well. But for Kakara herself it's not like that. We've been seeing it as a bad thing because we've been forced to leave Garenhuld and all our family, but for Kakara it's also an ever-increasing risk of actually meeting the Enemy, and in hindsight I really should have figured it'd play a large part of her views on her forced departure."I can't go home," you say, staring at the floor. "I don't know anywhere else. And he's- he's out there." Your hands shake.
This seems like an excellent use of the [ASK] task.i wonder who/what we'd meet in hell.

You can have a brief visit, sure, but I'll again emphasize the, "frankly unsustainable amount of effort," and, "the visit is short because otherwise the metaphysical barrier making it untenable for the Enemy to enter the afterlife and wreak havoc kicks you out," parts of things. It really will be an extremely brief visit -- for safety's sake, if nothing else.@PoptartProdigy what if it was just for an hour? or ten minutes?
He's busy, and also got all his training from King Kai; not that he couldn't teach us anything, but most of the stuff he knows that would be helpful to us are probably already part of the exile knowledge base....What if we asked King Gemma himself to train us? He's on this side of the barrier, is he not?
That's fair. I kind of want to visit... but at the same time, if we don't have anything specific to ask/work on then it might actually be a bit of a dick move if it's going to cause Gohan a lot of trouble.You can have a brief visit, sure, but I'll again emphasize the, "frankly unsustainable amount of effort," and, "the visit is short because otherwise the metaphysical barrier making it untenable for the Enemy to enter the afterlife and wreak havoc kicks you out," parts of things.
